Now, you may be in your 10s. You are studying at school. You eat well, dress well and what you need to worried about is your school work.

Life seems to be easy to you, because your parents prepare almost everything necessary for you. They pay for your food, clothes, houses, and school fee. They wash your clothes, clean your room and make meals for you. However, when will you take good care of yourselves without parents? Here is a story for you.

Jay started working at 12. At that time he had no pocket money and he needed to do housework. He bought his own car at 17. He started paying rent at 18 and cooked for himself. When he was at university, he worked 3 jobs at the same time and didn’t ask money from parents. When he was 24, he bought his first house himself.
